Same applies here. If I wasn't paid for my work I would not go to the Accy Observer, LET or LEP or even the BBC, I would go to my pay office at the County Council or even my local office where I work (this is where I would start, only going higher if I did not get a satisfactory answer! but under no circumstances would I go to the press.). Surely whoever is the players representative should be approaching a. Rob Heys, b. Peter Marsden, c. Ilyas Khan (in no particular order) to sort out the mess!

Why would John Colman jeopardise his standing, reputation and or position at the club if this wasn’t a serious issue that needed airing in order to get a resolve.

Football19; how much transparency are you expecting; from what I can see there’s less coming out of the club than there was this time last year and most of that is second-hand.

I am not knocking anyone; I do not doubt the sincerity of the club or the new board but I can’t get over all hype of backing the boys when there not being paid. Coley said that this was the third time in a row that they had been promised payment before a game and each time it had not happened. If John or any of the players walked now we would be up in arms, if there’s any form of transparency at Accrington Stanley our players should be paid and an explanation given has to why our promotion chances are being jeopardise and our players dishonoured.

As for Coley using the media the way he has; well it’s no more than what was done two years ago and he’s not branding anyone. He just wants his lads paid and their service to Accrington Stanley Honoured.
